Open Caching Logging Integration Functional Specification

This document describes the process of provisioning a Logging Integration between a CDN and an ISP in an Open Caching solution. That is the process of configuring how delivery logs are transferred from ISP to CDN. The requirements for logging in Open Caching Nodes are described in the “Open Caching

Open Cache Request Routing Service Provisioning Interface Specification

This document describes the high-level functional specification of open caching request routing and the required interfaces to enable request routing to be performed from an upstream CDN to an open cache system. This version has been updated to address the Manifest Rewrite routing scheme.

Open Cache Logging Requirements Specification

This document specifies requirements for Open Caching System (OCS) for Logging data to help track data acquisition and delivery of it to the end user. The information logging is critical for the Open Caching Nodes as well as the upstream CDN and the Content Provider (CP). Logging information helps OCS

Open Caching Configuration Interface: Part 1

This is the first part in a set of documents that specifies the motivational drivers, use cases, and standards for a configuration interface to facilitate interoperability within the content delivery network (CDN) and open caching ecosystems. This document set presents a layered architecture that extends the Internet Engineering Task Force

Open Caching Configuration Interface: Part 3 – Publishing Layer APIs

This is part three in a set of documents that specifies the motivations, use cases, and standards for a configuration interface to facilitate interoperability within the content delivery network (CDN) and open caching ecosystems. In this document, the requirements for a configuration publishing layer are presented, along with APIs that
